Two blocks ($P$ and $Q$) with masses $2 \text{ kg}$ and $1.5 \text{ kg}$ respectively are joined by a massless thread. These blocks are mounted on a frictionless pulley which is fixed on the edge of a cube $(S)$, as shown in the figure. Block $P$ is positioned on the top surface which has no friction, and block $Q$ is in contact with the side surface, which has a coefficient of friction $\mu$. The cube $(S)$ moves towards the right with an acceleration of $g/2$, where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration. During this movement, the blocks $P$ and $Q$ remain stationary relative to the cube. The value of $\mu$ is . . . . . . . (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

An infinite number of masses are placed on a frictionless table and they are connected via massless strings. Their masses follow the sequence $m, \frac{m}{2}, \frac{m}{6}, \ldots, \frac{m}{n!}, \ldots$ and they are further connected to a mass $m$ that hangs over a massless pulley. The acceleration of the hanging mass is
